How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra transition from the previous chapter's topic to the main theme of Chapter 38?

📖 Chapter 38

The author makes a very deliberate transition in Chapter 38. After noting that the previous chapter described the Chavadi, the author announces that this one will tell the story of the Handi (cooking pot). To explain this narrative shift, a beautiful metaphor is used. The author compares themself to a small child who knows how to eat but not what to eat, and 'Mother Sai' to the one who knows what nourishment is needed. As this chapter reveals, the author claims that Mother Sai has placed the pen in their hand to spontaneously write this composition for the benefit of devotees, thus framing the new topic as a divinely inspired continuation.
